What should I do to limit my exposure to Java 7 security issue?

I was just reading about the new malware exploiting Java 7 in Windows, Unix systems? SHould I be concerned about this malware in OS X?

You could always revert to Java 6. Details in
Java for OS X 2012-006: How to re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 applet plug-in and Web Start functionality.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • My mac mini is running slow. what should I do?

    My mac mini is running slow. What should I do?

    Hello Kate,
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

    If the battery is dead, we must find out if it is:
    1. Charger problem

  • Ting screwy. I deleted the app and reset my ipod but I still can't access either Itunes stores, send messages, or access the internet. What should I do?

    I downloaded nds4ios for my ipod touch and now it's acting screwy. I deleted the app and reset my ipod but I still can't access either Itunes stores, send messages, or access the internet. What should I do?

    Hi Seabiscuit564,
    It sounds as if your issues here are all related to not having a good connection to the Internet from your iPod touch. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Hi، I forgot answer to my security question what should I do؟

    I forgot answer to my security question what should I do

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I think there should be a time limit of 2 years to the icloud find my device. Then it should reset.

    So many people have locked devices that they bought on eBay. I think apple should have a time limit of 2 years then it should rest back to factory settings with no Icloud attached.
    Thus if you have got scammed there is hope for you. All you have to do is wait the 2 years or 1 year before your device becomes useable when they do a full reset of all old devices.
    Also it helps people keep up to date on there icloud. A lot of people forget what email and password they made for there apple id.
    Thus they can put in there new email and password.

    I doubt that the people who have had their device stolen would agree. This is a user-to-user support forum but you can make a suggestion to Apple at: https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

  • What should my screen refresh rate be?

    Hi guys, ive never really understood the refresh rate for screens. I have a geforce 4 ti4200, and my refresh rate is 60hertz, what should it be, or whats the best? Thanks sasarchiver

    100 and more is the best for your eyes. 85 is the lower limit for "blindness".....  ; 60Hz is the lowest possible of your monitor and can harm your sight  when long-acting.
    you have max. vertical and horizontal freq. of your monitor and a screen resolution (for example horizontal 1024x768 vertical)
    so you will know the max vertical freq. by counting: (max horizontal freq of your monitor)/(vertical screen resolution)*(0,95)=max refresh rate
    eg: you have max 110kHz of horizontal freq. and screen resolution of 1024x768
    so: (110000/768)*0,95=136Hz
    this is the max refresh but the graphics cards sopports only 120Hz so you choose 120Hz in your graphics driver 120Hz for this resolution.

  • HT1766 So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do?

    So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do? I'm getting frustrated  

    I took it off WiFi and complained on their Facebook page.  I think their
    salespeople telling folks to always stay on WiFi is their way of making
    money!  Take your phones OFF of WiFi, put Task Killer Advanced (google play
    store - FREE) on your phone and hit that repeatedly during the day.  It
    will shut down the junk running in the background that loves to nom on your
    data.  The other thing I do is to constantly dump cached data from my
    phone.  We did all three of these things and we have only burned up .7 of
    our 3GB limit since June 1st!  Not even a whole GB in 19 days!  Also,
    remove all updates from every app that your phone came with (bloatware)
    every so often. And shut the phone down every night after you run the task
    killer and empty your data cache. Somewhere along the line I will learn how
    to completely uninstall that darned bloatware and I will pass it on!
    Let me know if this makes a difference for you!

  • SAP LSO:  What is the suspend data limit on the LSO Repository out of the box?

    What is the suspend data limit on the LSO Repository out of the box?  What is this value set to by default in the SAP LSO?
    Thanks in advance!

    This laptop is equipped with SATA I, which is 150Gbit/s. You wont reach the maximum speed of your SSD but it will be much faster then your current old school spinner drive. An SSD will always outperform a normal HDD. Plus you should see a bump in battery life as well.
    Hope this helps!

  • My Serial number doesn't work. What should I do?

    I just installed the Adobe CS4 Master Collection on my new laptop. All of the Adobe applications work perfectly fine except for Photoshop. It tells me that my serial number was already used twice. What should I do?
    It is letting me do a 30 day trial. But Photoshop is really the only Adobe app I need. With my luck, its the only one not working for me.
    Why is it that only one app is telling me that the serial # is wrong? and what should I do?

    Dragonz,
    It appears that you have Activated PS on the two allowed machines already. You ARE allowed two Activations only. As has been pointed out, you can Deactivate one of those. Also, the EULA does allow Activation on two personal computers, but they may not be run at the same time - that goes for ALL of the components of any suite too, so you cannot run InDesign on one computer, while doing PS work on the other. [That one got me sometime back, and the Adobe Product Manager had to go to Adobe Legal, for a ruling. I had been breaking my EULA, though always try to follow that to the "letter of the law." Luckily for me, I had two separate (non-suite) stand-alone licenses for PS, and not used in any upgrade path, so once I Deactivated, uninstalled, reinstalled (from one of the stand-alones) and Activated, I was again "legal."]
    If you HAVE only Activated on one personal computer, then there is a problem, and as Noel mentions, a call to Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), should be able to fix things quickly and painlessly.
    Once, there was also a limit on the number of installations allowed, which could be reset by C/S, if exceeded. IIRC, that policy was discontinued, as of Feb, 2010. Still, there ARE limits on Activations, and only two copies of each program can be Activated at the same tim.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
